22 Shot in Under 24 Hours

A SHOOTING INSIDE a car wash in the South Side's Hamilton Park neighborhood left one man dead and seven others wounded early Saturday, police said.

A VICTIM IS IN "CRITICAL" in critical condition after he was shot in the North Side’s Uptown neighborhood Saturday evening.

A MAN WAS SHOT while standing on a street in the South Chicago neighborhood Saturday morning.

A 51-YEAR-OLD MAN was wounded in a shooting on the West Side when a man got out of a van to shoot him, then drove off.

A YOUNG VICTIM IS DEAD and four others wounded after shootings within 15 minutes citywide Friday afternoon.

TWO TEENS shot in the 200 block of North Karlov Avenue, Knight said. Both went to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn.

ARTIES ANDERSON was fatally shot while playing a dice game near his house on the West Side.

AT LEAST THREE VICTIMS were shot on a South Side street early Saturday.

At least three fatals that we can see in the bunch.

Does anyone truly believe we're "adequately staffed" at the District level as J-Fed claims? And if we are, why did they have to pull cars from 002, 020, 022 and 024 to help out the boys and girls in 007 after the car wash shooting? We could see pulling cars from 006, 008, and 009. But was Area 1 that short handed on a warm Friday night?

a leadership issue, no?...intelligent and competent assignment and management of the available workforce, in assigning available officers and supervisors, and minimizing folks assigned to office or administrative duties (thus maximizing field officers and supervisors)....seems like a simple task, no?

Worked afternoons in 009 this friday. What a cluster fuck we were lucky to get 15 mintue break. We were all over the place. But its ok we got 13,000 police officers out there. Yea right!!! Hire more police, stop putting 2 year wonders in the totally retarded unit!!! Also for those dog asses that go to tulsa at 40th ashland, and stay there all night take some of your fucking jobs!!!

the bosses have to be thanking the heavens that we had a few showers of rain. it was starting to get very bad out there. almost a person shot every 30min-hour. that said, it's very light and scattered showers and still in the 60s on a saturday night.

How do I get on the J-FEDS "Police" Police DUI Force? Is it time and a half pay? I can bring in goose eggs from that job and still take the money! If they want a DUI arrest, I can always find one on the way to the spot, hundreds of unlicensed/suspended (illegal) drivers out there.... Maybe I'll FOCUS on reporters. I'll dig up their hang outs and hunt that scum. It'll be news worthy and make the Unit/Detail a success! I'll be the NEW PET UNIT!!! Where do I sign up?

We aint seen nuttin yet boys and girls,as dick daley is more concerned about 2016 than the out of control animals and the homicide rate,I'm afraid to ask what it will take for j-fed and daley to realize we need help.be safe and check the money box when possible,daley will like that.

Lets start utilizing the Area 3 gang enforcement units.(I know refrain from laughter) What gang problems are there in Area 3? Why have these teams patroling in Area 3, when there is nothing going on. I mean come on especially on days, what a joke to have these teams just in area 3.

In a earlier posting, I predicted 734 homicides for 2009. So SCC, I gotta ask: Are you going to start a thread on a "ghoul pool"? Or how about this: How about an "over" or "under" on the number of homicides for 2009? I'm a gambling man so let me know soon!

22 shot "Holy shit BATMAN," Now what? msu,tru,abc,def none of that 2 year unit wonders are working! HEY BOSS OLD SCHOOL EVERYONE BACK TO DISTRICTS, IT WOULD BE A START! WHY NOT BUY MARKED CARS FOR THE D-UNIT AND KEEP EVERYONE IN BLUE THAT WOULD LOOK LIKE WE HAVE MORE COPPERS RIGHT BOSS? The districts had 15 years ago 3 wagons,sector cars, tac teams (Teams that were together), all 2 man on 3rd and 1st watch! You abolish the usefull school unit,and now the idiots you have in charge are downing anywhere from 5-15 cars per district per day so the little criminal will behave somewhat! When the school unit took care of this shit, new thinking, old ways worked better boss CAN YOU SEE ME NOW?

just wait until they start denying time due. it's a muggy friday and you just don't feel like going in and would rather stay in your yard and suck down some brews and have a barbecue-- sorry officer, we already gave x amount of officers off, you have to come in. TIME DUE DENIED-- watch the medical rolls blow up this summer as guys will just hit the medical instead of begging for time due.

intelligent and competent THESE 2 WORDS IN THE SAME SENTENACE for our white shirts, are you shitting me? More like lackluster and clueless!

You mean the TSS missions didn't stop all this crime? While cops are being held down in a 2x2 block radius for 1-2 hours at a time, shit is hitting the fan in other areas not in the 2x2 zone...sorry can't go, I'm being held down on this mission where all I see a four or five other police cars riding down the same black as me....should be a BS-S mission

As bad as the residents of the city are, we have some DUMB ASS COPPERS out here! We have a NO CHASE policy! Some IDIOT almost caused a MAJOR accident in 022 yesterday chasing what appeared to be a steamer! Yeah idiot you were chasing him, even if you didn't have on lights! Your a fucking ass hole, and that fucking ass hole almost hit me at a high rate of speed. GROW THE FUCK UP AND STOP THE DUMB SHIT!!! YOu should have chased him when you were in front of your house south of 111th on Kedzie! Oh I'm sorry your family isn't worth the risk. Don't worry Commander K will be called

Picture caption in part states:"...Instructors with Texas State University-San Marcos active-shooter program have trained 20,000 officers since 2002"

So, what does the world "Olympic" class city of Chicago have?? An 8 minute 28 second streaming video on active shooters.

Now, don't you think this could have been a part of TARA, instead of however long it was on how to fill out a TSSS card? Heavens, 30 officers at a crack, (of all ranks) along with 5 instructors, holding class in none other than A HIGH SCHOOL?

face it we are just all royally screwed. even if the sup goes, who is daley going to put in his place? no matter who he puts in there, they are still a yes man, whoever it is will just be doing his bidding. i really dont think it makes a difference anymore. what happened to the thought that we have competent dc's and that the crime problem of the districts should be solved at the district level? i remember he said that when he got here. but every crime initiative has come from 35th street. and the only crime initiatives that i have seen since he has gotten here is missions. wtf? my dc does not address crime and never has. my dc only addresses the alderman in the district. nothing is going to change untill we get a different mayor that believes the police department should be taken back by the police. and aldermen, priests, reverends and bishops and former gang members turned politicians are not allowed to demand anything anymore. and what chance do we have of getting a mayor like that? maybe fitz... well like i said we are just royally screwed and the citizens have no idea what they are facing in the coming months, years, if something doesnt change. Everyone, watch your back, wait for your back up, stop the "I'll let you know" crap, especially on days, and go home to your family with a smile on your face because that's all that really matters.

I have never seen the indifference as high as it is now.When you see other police officers going the other way during an in progress job that is a mortal sin.In the districts the talent pool is very empty and the bottom feeders really stand out.Now you can really see the true "dogs" or "bosses kids" who always had the easy path.We could lose police in big bunches this summer and unfortuantely it will probably be the workers.PLEASE BACK EACH OTHER UP!

That's a great idea, why don't we just take all the cars from 019, 020, 023, 18, 01, and 016 and send them out south, they're not needed where they are. Oh... I'll See ya at Father Phinger's service on Sunday.

some of us (emphasis on SOME) are in 019, 023, etc. because we worked 15 to 20 years on the west & south sides... don't begrudge people playing their seniority card. It's the ONLY perk that's left on this job. still can't figure out why so many guys & gals are running to go to j-fart's "pet units" to basically be "at will" employees again... the old timers had it right, "keep your mouth shut, your eyes & ears open and put in your time." not a slam... just an observation.

Be careful out there. I would say wait for back up but is there even anyone to back all of you up half the time? I don't know how all of you are able to do what you do under the working conditions you are faced with. Poor equipment, poor leadership, little training etc. God bless all of you for continuing to do your jobs.

Homicide in 006...Keeps them coming. They love and deserve the police in A/2. Whoever says take cars out of A/3 is completely nuts, they don't need the police, they can solve the problems without us. WHY BOTHER?

I got 2 personals in - a nice lunch - and I took a hell of a dump all on company time.

Give me a damn contract and then I'll give a damn.

THE FUNNIEST PART.....IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU HAVE A CONTRACT OR NOT.....YOU STILL WON'T GIVE A DAMN...YOU MEAN TO TELL ME IF THEY SIGN A CONTRACT, WE'LL SEE YOUR ACTIVITY SKY ROCKET? A DOGS A DOG, CONTRACT OR NO CONTRACT...POST YOUR NAME, I WANT TO SEE IF YOU ACTUALLY DO WORK --POST CONTRACT....WHENEVER THAT IS...

Chalkie was very ingenious at the car wash in 007. He walked in and turned the lights out, then started shooting causing a further E2 like panic among the party goers...must've left home without his night vision...

Hey SCC, don't know if u heard, but there was also a F/4 mid 30's who was walking with her daughter on 25th/California blvd when some shithead latin king decided to shoot from across the street at the SD's but instead struck this poor woman in her abdomen.. Happened saturday night around 9pm or so. Offender caught, and gun recovered. Victim still listed in critical last I heard. Great job by 10th district officers though! Reminds us all why we became the police especially through these tough times. Stay safe.

in the 10th district, we were privelaged enough to receive 2 seperate visits from the bosses at 35th st. Last night we had deputy chief williams, and last week we had J-Dud himself grace us with his presence. they wanted to hear any and all questions and concerns from the troops. These guys must have their PHDs in Bullshit 101 cus they managed to dance around every single question thrown their way. they could give 2 fucks about what we think. what an insult.

Ever bother to realize that there is less of a problem in A/3 because the police have their area under control? Maybe you can figure out a way to control your shitbirds or even better, get a few more years on and bit out of the ghetto you ignorant prick!

1995 = 109 Homicides in 011Don't big time the younger guys ok wheel gun guy. But he is right, I was there and it was just a normal occurence. There was no Mobile Strike Force to stop it. They were all in kindy garden. Stay safe...WEST side

The problems that are being exsposed now fall right back in Daley's lap,that is why the police and the police budget should be seperated from the Mayor's office.The asswipe does not know/care about the havoc and choas being conducted on the streets of chicago,not until a reporter with balls the size of a beaver(alderman's beaver i think)will this problem be exsposed.

Q. Can someone explain to me how the rabid dog in the Hoffman Estates stabbing managed to tie up three people by himself, while only being armed with a knife?

I mean, how dumb can liberals get?

A. D'Andre Howard...is a state ward who allegedly has a history of mental health problems and a criminal past.

“I just don’t know why somebody would have such hate in them to do this to a family that took him in and helped take care of his baby,” Gayle Irvin, the Engelhardts’ neighbor of 17 years, said after the hearing.

Howard has been a state ward since his parents’ custodial rights were terminated in 2001, said assistant public defender Stephen Herczeg. Herczeg said Howard suffers “from some mental health issues” but couldn’t elaborate.

Prosecutors said Howard previously received two years’ probation after being convicted of aggravated criminal sexual abuse in Juvenile Court in 2004.

In 2006, he was sentenced to 15 days in the county jail and six additional months of probation for violating his probation stemming from the 2004 incident...

What's the racial makeup of crime in Chicago. You know what Race is comitting what Crime? From the Murders all the way down to suspended dl's and dog bite cards. I know the truth, so does a lot of people but nobody in this department has the balls to post the stats to show where the real problem rests.

I really hope you don't believe what you are saying. If you do, you made it very obvious that not only have you not worked in a high crime area, but most likely have never been in or through a high crime area. Maybe you can come to the ghetto and teach us how to police more effectively.

I got the answer overtime for the following districts 3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,15. 40 p.o.'s on the third watch maybe 7pm-3am on thurs, friday,saturday. Thats an additional 20 p.o.'s. Oh i forgot no money and no cars. Dammit I thought I had the answer. I know plenty of greedy ass p.o.'s that would show up.
